    ... that the MG/ Search box be shifted up, next to the MG stogie man.
    I think it would get a lot more use and maybe generate more members and more $$$ from Shareware sales, etc.

    See attachments. Bazza

    I find it easy enough, but I have introduced a few people here that had to ask how or where to search for apps. It might be easier to find for new members if it wasn't so far down the page.

    Well, the big white spot in the page draws my eyes to it wherever its at.

    A heck of a lot better than some pages where 90 percent of your time on the site is scanning for a search box :D

    I like the suggestion, save me a scroll, and make it more accessible. At times I will put in the precise name of a certain program and get back three pages of results. At those times I use Google and put in the name of the program followed by MajorGeeks. Just my nickels worth.

    That's why I suggested putting it at the top. Real easy to find it then.;) Or at least shift it to above "Files", underneath the stogie man. Bazza

    Our search right now sucks - the google one is a lot better.

    As you are well aware, the Google / MG search options on the front page at www.majorgeeks.com gives both options for those using it. I use it often for quick research, but if it was placed higher it would negate the need to scroll for it.
    My $0.02, enuff said. :D Bazza

    I was thinking of the Search box on the RIGHT hand side of the stogie man, as my preference. Bazza

    Thanks for the ego boost you two. ;) Those are just apps I use alot so I don't have to hunt them down or have them on my desktop. I didn't realize Object Dock was in the screen shot till later. It is a good app for uncluttering your desk top. It can be set to appear and reappear when needed.

    :)Thanks, musksnipe, spot on examples for the guys to consider.

    As for icons, shortcuts, etc., taking up desktop space, I use SlickRun instead, from
    http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/ I've now got only 4 shortcuts on my desktop.

    Allows you to have 100's of shortcuts, icons, (MagicWords in their vocab), all hidden, but available on typing 1 -3 letters usually, in a small box and <enter>.

    X gets me Excel, myd goes to My Documents, pix finds C:\Documents and Settings\Barry\My Documents\My Pictures, etc. You get the idea.

    My favourite program and essential, IMO. Partial screenshot attached. :) Bazza
